Figure Lengend Snippet: a Crystal structure of human TRP1 (PDB: 5M8L), with the red motif indicating the N-terminal pGlu. b Titration of αTRP1 clone TA99 (1:1 dilution, commencing at 40 μg/mL) followed by αmouse IgG APC (1:800) on murine B16F10 wildtype (blue) and QPCTL KO (red) cells. Data represents individual data point and the line is the mean percentage of MFI of αTRP1 clone TA99 staining relative to the MFI of 40 μg/mL αTRP1 clone TA99 on wildtype cells (n = 3). c Flanvotumab (1:200) followed by αhuman clone QA19 (1:100) on B16F10 wildtype (blue) and QPCTL KO (red) cells. Data represents the percentage of MFI, + standard deviation error, bar of flanvotumab staining relative to the MFI flanvotumab on wildtype cells. One-way Anova was performed followed by the Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (n = 3). d Representative histograms of αTRP1 clone TA99 (1:100) followed by αmouse IgG APC (1:800) or flanvotumab (1:200) followed by αhuman clone QA19 PE (1:100), unstained (gray) or secondary controls (dark gray) staining on B16F10 treated with 10 μM glutaminyl cyclase inhibitors PQ912 (red) or SEN177 (orange) or equal amounts of DMSO (blue) for three days. Bar graphs show the percentage of the MFI of αTRP1 clone TA99 or flanvotumab staining, + standard deviation error bar, relative to the MFI of DMSO control cells. One-way Anova was performed followed by the Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (n = 3). e Representative histograms of αTRP1 clone TA99 (1:100) followed by αmouse IgG APC (1:800), or flanvotumab (1:50) followed by αhuman clone QA19 PE (1:100), unstained (gray) or secondary controls (dark gray) staining on primary immortalized human melanocytes treated with 10 μM glutaminyl cyclase inhibitors PQ912 (red) or SEN177 (orange) or equal amounts of DMSO (blue) for three days. Bar graphs show the percentage of the MFI of αTRP1 clone TA99 or flanvotumab, + standard deviation error bar, relative to the MFI of DMSO control cells. One-way Anova was performed followed by the Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (n ≥ 3). Abbreviations: MFI, median fluorescent intensity; KO, knockout; US, unstained; Sec, secondary antibody only; PQ, PQ912; SEN, SEN177.
